Biography
Elizabeth Goushill, second daughter and co-heiress of Robert de Goushill, Knt., of Hoveringham, Nottinghamshire, by Elizabeth Arundel, was born about 1402 (aged 1 in 1403).[1]
Elizabeth married Robert Wingfield, Knt., of Letheringham, Suffolk,[2][3] son and heir of Sir Robert Wingfield and Elizabeth Russell, before 1 December 1419.[1] They had seven sons and five daughters:
- John, K.B., of Letheringham, Suffolk, married Elizabeth Fitz Lewis[1]
- Robert, Knt., Controller of the Household[1]
- Richard, Esq.[1]
- Thomas, Knt., of Southwark, Surrey and Debenham, Suffolk, married Philippe Tiptoft[1]
- Henry, Knt., 5th son, born about 1435, died before 6 May 1494, married first Alice _____, widow of George Seckford, married second Elizabeth Rookes[1]
- William, Esq.[1]
- Anthony[1]
- Elizabeth, wife of Sir William Brandon of Henham, Suffolk[1]
- Anne, wife of John Fremingham[1]
- Catharine, wife of John Bonville, Esq[1]
- Alice[1]
- Margaret[1]
Robert Wingfield left a will dated 6 October 1452/3 and proved 21 November 1454 that named his wife, Elizabeth. He was buried at Letheringham, Suffolk.[1] Elizabeth's date and place of death are unknown.
Research Notes
Disputed Family
- William Hardwicke was detached as the spouse of Elizabeth Goushill and Elizabeth was detached as the mother of William's son, Roger. This marriage and child is not mentioned by Richardson. However, Lewis' website, cites "The Lineage and Ancestry of H.R.H. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, by Gerald Paget, Vol. II, p. 450." as the source for Roger's parents. Lewis' page for Elizabeth states that she married Hardwick in 1456, which is reasonable, as her 1st husband's will was probated in 1454 and Elizabeth's DOD is unknown. It is doubtful that Elizabeth would have had children from this marriage as she would have been age 50+ when she remarried. Requested Paget cite check on G2G 22 May 2020.
- According to a soc.genealogy.medieval post from 2006 "The Hardwick/Goushill marriage with issue is a mistake that occurs in Burke's Peerage, apparently." Burke's incorrectly states that Robert Wingfield died in 1431 and Elizabeth married Hardwick in 1432.

- Who Do You Think You Are: Elizabeth (Goushill) Wingfield is the ancestor of noted actress Valerie Bertinelli.
